The Good Fortune Mystery Quilt by Bonnie Hunter started on Black Friday and I was busy quilting at my dad's, so I didn't get to start right away. I did get a few pink (in place of red) and neutral strips cut so I could start sewing when I had a chance. I thought I cut plenty, so Saturday I set to sewing. We were having a severe winter storm warning, so it was a stay inside and play kind of day.
I was able to sew a bunch of strip sets and then used my Stripology ruler to cut them. This made quick work of cutting all those 4 patches. I got them all pressed and in pretty piles.
I didn't have enough strips cut, so I went back to cut some more. I cut a lot and sewed a bunch more. I layered 4 sets under my Stripology ruler and went to work cutting. I had these sub-cut in under 30 seconds!
I pressed and pressed and pressed, all while spinning my seams, but by Saturday night I still had this pile to press. They'll get finished up today. I've counted and I made plenty, so I'm ready to go for next week.
This is the pheasant quilt I quilted at dad's house on Black Friday. I'll get it bound this week and it will be for my nephew for Christmas.
